on "slow jamz", a song about twista and kanye's favourite songs to play while sexing, a woman's voice comes in (because they sex ladies, ok!) and critiques kanye's verse/sexing performance, telling him he's going too slow, and kanye is like, "damn baby i can't do it that fast but i know somebody who can - twista!!" because twista raps really fast! that's the coolest thing ever! i didn't really check for twista much until a couple of months ago, or maybe i thought of him as novelty and only good for "is that your bitch". his rep is always as a rahzel-style technique-freak of nature crazy dude. to illustrate, here is a picture of him wearing a straight-jacket.
see, that settles it! this rep has obviously hindered him if lazy motherfuckers like me haven't really paid attention. "slow jamz" changed that for a bunch of reasons:
- when he starts mimicking the sample in the background ("i be sippin hennessy / play some r'n'b / while i smoke a b / you can preferably / find that i'm a g") it's straight alchemy like he just pulled the sword out of the rap stone.
- it's always cool to hear rappers talking about other music, they are normally more interesting than some internet tosser.
- "no matter how much of a thug you see / i still spit it like it's r'n'b" is the new guiding principle behind my entire life.
so after that i was like, hold up, did i even listen to that rob them co-hyped rmx of "like a pimp" properly? um, no. twista's whole verse is basically saying "i know full well i'm on 03's heaviest beat!", like he can stretch his flow around the beat and take advantage of being on it for all the people out there who can't! it's love. you don't even have to listen to busta because he's on last! it turns out he also killed the less famous (completely ignored!) other rmx of "mundian to bach ke". his album will probably be one of the highlights of 04.
